The Ruprecht Company is a privately-held meat processor and food manufacturer serving both domestic and international customers in the foodservice and retail sectors. Established in 1860, Ruprecht is currently the oldest operating beef processor in the Chicago area.  The Sommers Family purchased Ruprecht in 1961 and has grown its reputation for providing center of the plate protein items to the country’s finest food service and retail establishments.

Over the last 10 years, Ruprecht has experienced rapid expansion and growth due to its investment in Research and Development.  Ruprecht has expanded its focus to fully cooked meal solutions, side dishes, and other value-add raw items.  While many things have changed since 1860, Ruprecht’s mission to providing the highest quality product to our customers has not.  Today, these customers include well-known independent restaurants, local and national chains, national and international distributors, and retail supermarkets.
